A new clinical proceedings paper from the Clinical Neurological Society of America highlights the underrecognition of a neurological emergency called Nonconvulsive Status Epilepticus (NCSE). Unlike convulsive seizures, NCSE does not exhibit clear motor symptoms, making it difficult to diagnose and treat. This delay in treatment increases the risk of morbidity and mortality, with adults experiencing NCSE without convulsions having significantly higher mortality rates. The paper emphasizes the importance of using EEGs for proper diagnosis and emergency monitoring of NCSE. [Extracted from the article]
